judygram Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 You are so right, Dan, we do want to know, because something caused his death and it could make a difference in another grey's life if it could have been prevented. Thanks, Penny, for keeping us up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieNYC Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Goodmorning America ran a beautiful memorial for Alex, see here: http://abcnews.go.com/gma Thought everyone should see it. Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Stephanie, THANK YOU for sharing this video with us. I hope everyone here watches it. Although it made me cry, I am just amazed by the depth of Alex's understanding. Even though we all have Greys at home, and understand how intelligent they are. This video is just astonishing! Yes, PLEASE EVERYONE WATCH THIS MEMORIAL VIDEO OF ALEX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Here is a nice article from the Boston Globe yesterday.... http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/09/11/death_of_gifted_parrot_stuns_scientists/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Makena, Thank you for sharing that link with us. Every time I see a new article written about Alex, I learn something new about his personality. It is amazing that even after his death, he is still teaching us things. I have learned that every bird that has passed on, seems to leave a legacy of some type. Unfortunately the magnitude of their existence we tend to only see after their death.

danmcq Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow, That was an amazing and inspiring video spooky hurst. :-) It sends shudders down me realizing just how deep the understanding of these Greys grows. If we just interact with them as we would with our children when they were babies, describing what we are giving them or what they are seeing, they will understand and build upon that knowledge. What a huge responsibility we have an providing them with a rich and invigorating environment that they can flourish and grow in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 i had just found that video on youtube and was rushing here to share it, but it's already here. some wonderful clips of alex i partiularly love the bit with the corn "go pick up corn" he really was a clever bird and it just shows it is there in all of our greys. my teaching with brian is most deffinately inspired by irene and alex, and i say teaching because as dan pointed out, if you interact with them as you would children then will learn.

judygram Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Thanks Kristin for posting this link for us, there was nothing that could have prevented his death and he did not suffer and that matters most. He is sorely missed by a multitude of greyt lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I agree Judy, As long as Alex did not suffer that is the main thing, but still very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
